The Pinnacle by Vaporblunt

[Dreamerr]

I did a boil and it did a decent job but it was a short boil with olive oil and water. I was doing glass as well and was worried about the silicone I used to protect the glass from breaking. I will do a longer one to see if it gets the gunk between the screen and the mp. My thought is if it can land there it can leave there with enough heat and maybe some fat of some kind to pull it off.

Thanks, Dreamer. You're the woman. Sorry for assuming you were a man before in a private message. "You're the man!"
FC is kind of a sausage fest.

Like I said, we would never hold up a real repair over a box. You would be surprised with the things people do to get their money back sometimes, so often rules are there just in case we need them.

The real problem is we are growing as a company and we have lots of new faces around the office. When those guys try to deal with problems on their own its like 3-4 degrees of separation from me and it doesn't always get handled the way I would have done it. That is why I am accessible here and @ vaporblunt1@gmail.com for anyone. I think I would have a hard time finding a person on here whom I haven't taken care of if they were in a bad situation.

Thank you Sir.. I like what I am hearing

 

[t-dub]

Is there any news on cleaning methods for the mouthpiece? I've been using vegetable glycerin...

I have one of these coming in for my vapor lab . . .

 

[Rrose Selavy]

i have just been using a q tip and iso for the time being. i tried soaking in vegetable glycerin but i think i got the wrong kind because it is thick like a gel

Thanks TRVB for being accessible.
And t-dub - you're crazy, but I love it.

It Came !!

I know the measurements are on here but Dang it's smaller than I thought !!

If it works as good as it looks I will be very happy.
I Don't think I have been this exited un-boxing something since one Christmas as a kid when we got the latest gaming console.

It Came with the Clear Mp and a flavor tip that I likely wouldn't have used even if they didn't have the melting issue.
I can see why they melt though its a pretty soft waxy material.

The Water Tower came in its own designed box with a vacuum shaped piece to hold it securely in the box and it was bubble wrapped as well.
It came Came with rubber stoppers and a tinted Pong.

The W.T. Is awesome and once again smaller than I thought it has a very easy draw to it that isn't as much bubble resistance as I'm used to with my larger water pieces.

It is almost Flawless but it is just a little off kilter at the base , it stands pretty securely but not as stable as I would like it to.
Flipping it upside down it sits nice and even and is very stable , but that isn't of much use with water in it.

I Filled it with the little amount it takes to fill and with the stoppers on tried to shake water down to the bottom stopper and was only able to get a small drop out the bottom.
It of course will go right out the bottom should someone foolishly blow into it , but outside of a one way valve adding plastics into the vapor pathway and adding unneeded complexity i don't see a way around that.
(come to think of it I have seen glass one way valves)

I read the thing about the box in the manual it seemed dumb to me , I am Glad TRVB is taking care of people without boxes.
That is the kind of Crap that would lead me not to do business with a company , So its good the C.S. is good with TRVB.

Still waiting to hear back from GV on the other 10% refund they promised

Do we even want to know how much that thing costs t-dub? Cleaning party at T's house

Hello FC, I really am interested in purchasing a Pinnacle as my first vaporizer. I keep hearing about the mouthpiece being an issue, other than that the unit sounds like a good experience for most. Is it possible they will have better more secure mouthpieces in the future that would fit the pinnacle? Or is that addressed with the Pinnacle Pro only and should I wait for that to come out? Any advice appreciated, thanks!

 

[Medical Mark]

No issue just opinion it works great and gets you medicated with ease and simplicity I love this thing, I'm waiting to get one of those new tubes they look so cool with the lme green highlights on the glass also I can't wait to have one of those new pinnacle pro units and see how it performs.
I wonder if vapor blunt will do about the oil attatchement which was supposed to be part of this units capability.
Can't wait to check that one out.
Pinnacle is in my opinion the best portable convection vaporizer on the market with a ease of use that is unparalleled.
Cheers medical mark.

I doubt more secure mouthpieces will be released in the future, but hey anythings possible. It honestly has not been a problem for me at all...as long as I twist off my WT, it doesn't get stuck.
I haven't read anything about the Pinnacle Pro having a more secure mouthpiece, but again I doubt it does. TRVB should be able to confirm or deny that.
It's up to you whether or not you want to wait for the Pro. Since this is your first vaporizer, I would probably recommend the standard Pinnacle. As a new vaporist, I doubt more temperature settings will be important to you. Being able to use the unit while plugged in is a big benefit for some, however. So again it's up to you whether or not you want to wait and spend more money to get the added perks of the Pro. Either way, the Pinnacle is a great choice for a first vape. Good luck on your search!

 

[Crohnie]

Personally, I've never had an issue with the mouthpiece being loose. Keep in mind that since I didn't get the water tool, I use the regular mouthpiece, not the PONG. Also, I know that some people have complained about the button turning on accidentally. My on/off/temp button is not flush with the body of my Pinnacle. Since it's a bit recessed into the body , I don't see how it could turn on accidentally.

Having been disappointed with my first few vapes (Except my UD, a log vape) IMHO, the Pinnacle would be a good first vape for most people. It's easy to use, low maintenance, and efficient as hell!

EDIT: I haven't done any scientific experiments, but the Pinnacle seems to be at least as miserly with my herb as my log vape.

Trust me, it's an issue. Mine is flush with the front of the unit but even if it was recessed it could be pressed accidentally. Everyone has varied habits, storage techniques and modes of transportation, so perhaps you should just consider yourself lucky instead of discounting those of us who have had an issue.

Oh dear. I certainly didn't mean to dismiss the issues. So sorry. I wasn't very clear. I was trying to point out that MY Pinnacle seems to be the oddball by NOT having problems in these areas.

 

[toros23]

Sorry, not trying to be a jerk. We have always agreed on just about everything in this thread but you have brought up your lack of an issue in this area a couple times already in this thread and I really think it would benefit all of us if it had a lockout *option*. Just an extra feature you can enable if you know you are going into a situation where it would be awkward to cook a load.

I hope you didn't jinx yourself now!!

 

[Crohnie]

Hmm. You're very observant, Toros. I have a bad habit of repeating stuff sometimes. It was no doubt enhanced by the newly cleaned bullet that I loaded and then POOF, it was gone. I stand gladly chastened.

 

[Dreamerr]

jayson, I haven't had any issues with the mouth piece coming off. With the WT I hold it anyhow so it still isn't an issue since I use my fingers to lift the WT to clear. Yes, I do it one handed which is why I more then likely don't have to do the twist. I probably don't put it on as tight as most do.

I seriously doubt there is anyway to make it tighter or make it glass or whatever cause it is just the way it has to be for the design. It somewhat clicks on and off. If you want it tighter just let resin build up. Before I cleaned my mouthpiece the other day I had to use my finger nails under it to get it off.

My power button is recessed and it can be an issue however I have been lucky so far except once and it wasn't in my pocket it was in my hand so go figure. I am in a wheelchair and have lots of junk in my pockets so it more then likely will be pushed at some point. I try to keep it sideways in my pocket and that has been working so far. Saying this I have other vapes that don't turn on all the time in my pocket either but I have managed to turn on the DV once and the INH many times. If you don't take stuff in and out of your pockets then you may be ok cause I think that is where the issue comes in possibly. You can always must make a form fitting sleeve and put something hard in the front to protect the button. I haven't had to yet but if I do I will make one as I don't want to carry any more then I have to.

 

[toros23]

I have a bad habit of repeating stuff sometimes.

Me too, obviously! I definitely feel a little silly bringing it up now - stupid button..

I stand gladly chastened.

Not necessary but what the hell...

 

[rufus]

speaking of repeating....i'm doing another review just for kicks.

Pinnacle by Vaporblunt.

This is the vaporizer to have right now. It truly is the mini beast that casual vapor enthusiasts have been dreaming of. While it may not reach the temperature level some people think they need, I find it more than satisfying and I'm accustomed to using an Arizer Extreme Q dialing up to 220 degrees Celcius. In fact, I can load a bullet and leave it on the low setting for two sessions and get perfect vapor for a while before bumping it up at the end to finish. The high setting almost isn't even necessary when you look at the ABV after two sessions on low, but it is nice to be able to extract the extra bit on high. The Pinnacle just thoroughly slow cooks your goods impressively. Can't compliment the mini water tool enough, but it does add a tiny bit of resistance of course, which is one of the only minor issues with the device. The slits in the sides look large enough, so perhaps I should experiment with different grinds and packing densities to get more airflow. I find myself enjoying just the Pong with a gentle puff technique mixing with lots of oxygen for a large number of small thin hits, in between longer pulls on the water tool. I've also noticed it heats up fast enough that as soon as the light is solid you can get a few pulls and shut it off again to save on the battery. I need to go back and read what was said about the bullet screen method. It makes sense to keep the goods down by the heat and not let it come up and clog the mouthpiece. I find myself opening to check the load, maybe stir and tamp and clean the screen a bit, but stirring isn't all that necessary unless you want that last bit. With the talk of plugs for the bullets I imagine it would be beyond cool if we could find something that would double as a plug and a screen to hold down the load. Maybe something that has a spring to it, you could lower down in there with needle nose and release it open in place.

 

[Crohnie]

I really like your idea about the bullet plug/screen idea, Rufus. I've gotten in the habit of tapping on my mouthpiece to make sure that any herb that may have risen up to the top of the bullet goes back down. The only screens I have at the moment are VERY fine, so when I put one in the bullet, I found it really restricted airflow. I bet a coarse screen with large holes would do the trick without restricting airflow.

 

[Dreamerr]

I never understand why some have an issue with airflow. I have the stuff rise and I do see it on the screen when I empty it but it never bothered me as far as airflow. I have heard the same thing with the DV and that also never bothered me. Only the solo did when I first got it till I learned how to use it correctly for me. Maybe mine doesn't clog as bad and I am still able to get air through? Maybe because I take short hits like 5 seconds which I believe is shorter then most people. I prefer repeated hits...think chain smoker as opposed to long hits.

How many hits do you any of you take in a minute...how long are your hits...how long do you wait between hits? I am so curious now how other people hit.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the advise and reassurance. Sounds like the Pinnacle would be a perfect fit for me. I definitely like the low maintenance factor and the glass attachment option. Doesn't seem like it has many down sides that other portables don't already have.

 

[OutkastBoss]

Thanks to you guys here at FC I ordered 2 bullets from yoyokid for a fair price.

I will review this thing after I've tried a few things and gone through a charge or 2 to see how far a charge gets me .
After that I will likely try to keep it topped off.

I would like to reiterate on the car charger desire , I may install a fixed power converter in my jeep so there is a receptacle in my cargo area.
Some times I'm camping and 4 wheeling and it would be nice to last a whole trip .
Mobile charging is a must for a true portable device imo.

Btw for this vapor noob looong slow pulls or light ish puffs mixed with air really worked for me with no learning curve I was thouroghly vaped on my first try.

Well I want to back up TRVB and say he is a man of his word and has taken care of me when my water tool was defective and nt me a other water tool and I too read that warrenty edition but they honoured there product and my buissness and there was a quick response and I dealt with David also and TRVB responded personally and got my glass piece to me before my piece even got to there office or for that matter the country cause I live in canada and all was done through the mail and I have to say I'm so satisfied with there customer service.
THANK YOU TRVB FOR TAKING CARE OF ME IN A FAST AND PROFESSIONAL MANNER I'm so mpressed with my pinnacle I haven't had a better portable vape my Pax, Cera, Solo, and even my vapexhale have hot the shelf for some time and need to be dusted off lol. Its just so versatile and effective that I find myself reaching for the pinnacle every time.
I think the higher temp pro will add even more effectiveness on a medical point of view being that different temps release different effects such as antiemetic, analgesic, anti inflammatory, antidepressant, anti anxiety, sedative, I could go on but the effective function is fully released at specific temps which range from 140 to 240 which translates 200 to 400 ? Either way the lower to other temperature on this new pro will help with different needs and its effectiveness will be even greater the it allready is which I can't wait to try cause I'm already sold on this thing even better even more effective ? Awesome can't wait.
Cheers, medical mark
